Someone has to protect the children when adults give them up for older men to play with sexually. Yes, parental cards need to be revoked at that point.
There are approximately 20,000 (twenty thousand!) girls under the age of 14 who get pregnant each year. There are 5x as many as that aged 15. Many of these kids live in poverty or poorer conditions, many from families on social assistance and many that are from single parent households. In some counties I have no doubt that a parent thinks its perfectly normal for their girls to get hitched and married by 16 - not too many peeps out of the public at large. I can name a number of people that I know got pregnant or married at or before 16...only one guy was forced to marry the girl - she was 15 - they divorced after 3 kids and their eldest daughter in turn got pregnant by 15 and with a guy 45 years old. sammieswife.
